DEVELOPMENT charity Traidcraft is looking for members to join its team taking part in the Great North Run

The Tyneside organisation supports building work in some of the world's poorest countries.

It has 300 places reserved for the half-marathon on September 18.

By pledging to raise £50, people can be part of the Traidcraft Active Team and receive a T-shirt, money-off vouchers, a wristband, sponsor forms and a fundraising pack. Entrance fees are separate and go to the organisers, not Traidcraft.
